Day 156: Wednesday, April 15 - Day 7 Arlington and Mt. Vernon

Another rainy day. It poured during our entire time at Arlington National Cemetery so we didn't get to explore it as we would have liked. I loved the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers! That was another highlight of the trip.


We spent the rest of the afternoon at Mt. Vernon learning about the life of George Washington. The grounds were extensive, but the cold rain and wind again had us leaving earlier than we would have liked. It did, however, have a nice indoor museum where we got a view of Santa on vacation in his white wifebeater and white basketball shorts. It was a sight to behold. We drove on back to Joni's house and spent over $30 dollars at over 5 tollbooths! Can I just say I am not a fan of toll roads. All that money and the roads were still terrible.
